Chichester Lakeside Holiday Park
West Sussex
Fishing lakes and family holiday park on the edge of Chichester itself
About Chichester Lakeside Holiday Park
Chichester Lakeside Holiday Park sits on the eastern edge of the city, close to Chichester Canal and under two miles from the cathedral and the shops on North Street. The park is built around a series of fishing lakes and pools, ranging from small day-ticket waters to a much larger lake stocked with carp, pike, tench, bream and roach, so it draws a steady stream of anglers alongside families on short breaks who have no interest in the rods at all.
Most stays are in caravan holiday homes graded from simple to premium, with a growing number of glamping pods and lodges available for guests without their own touring equipment or tent. The park does not offer traditional tent pitches, so it suits visitors after a more comfortable, serviced base rather than those wanting to camp in the strictest sense, and its position just off the A27 and A286 makes it a convenient stop for people planning day trips to Goodwood, the harbour villages or the South Downs.
On-site facilities include both indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, a shop, a bar and restaurant with a programme of daytime and evening entertainment, dog walking areas with wash-down stations, and free WiFi across the park. A playground and soft play area keep children occupied between fishing sessions, and the flat, well-maintained paths make it manageable for pushchairs and visitors with limited mobility. The park's location also means the cathedral, theatre and shops of central Chichester are close enough for an evening visit without needing to drive far, which suits families splitting a break between the park's own facilities and a day or two exploring the city itself.
